Here are three new shots of the Compton Hill Water Reservoir in south St. Louis. The first is a simple color shot (w/10.5mm fisheye).

The second was captured with an IR-converted camera (w/10.5 fisheye).

And the third is B&W converted IR Image (w/12mm wide angle).

I think I like the B&W the best. Please fire away if you have any criticism or suggestions.

    I really like the second one. IR effect is barely noticed when you do not know and the effect is quite dramatic.

    Hi Jeff
    I really like the power and fury of the sky in #2. It's far and away my favorite.

    Those are great, #2 and #3 are my favorites (I would have been interested to see the treatment of #2 applied to the composition of #3).

    Okay. Here's the IR version of #3 with no B&W conversion.

    So it's between #2 and this one, I think. Is this one better than #2?

    I think it is, but I don't know if it's better that the B&W #3. They're both really good, I'm going back and forth, hmm... This is why I end up uploading thousands of photos, I'm too indecisive :D

    Okay, I'm going to complicate it with one more image. The only thing I don't like about the last one I posted is that the stair railings poke up above the roofline of the building/reservoir. So here's one that I think is more symmetrical. Thanks for the comments everyone. You've been very helpful!

    Okay. :poke I'm gonna bump this thread up cause I'm desperately looking for affirmation that this last shot is the best. I think it is, but I'm so insecure. :help

    I think I like the color version of #3 the best. The perspective from the fisheye is great here coupled with the IR image. It really gives an interesting mood.

    Last version and BW are both nice. I think I like the BW better, because it shows more detail on the stairs. But both are awesome!
